PreS-Gr 1—Not even a lack of music or a dubious friend can dampen Horse's drive to dance. Buggy's skeptical, "What are you doing?" and "I do not hear any music" does not deter Horse. He just gleefully bends, grooves, and kicks, proclaiming, "I am dancing. I am the best dancer. I have the best dances. Dance with me!" Buggy finally busts a move, Horse finds a boom box, and just as they are really "getting down," Horse decides to take a much needed break.
VERDICT With Long's characteristic slapstick humor and simple, expressive characters, this newest pairing is pitch-perfect for his audience…no dance beat required.
